+
+When sending JSON data in a POST request, instead of writing it inline with the `--data` or `--json` option, a filename can be entered - prefixed with an `@` symbol.
+
+For example, to POST the data from a data.json file:
+
+```shell
+curl --insecure --json @data.json https://mysite.com/webhook
+```
